FAQs
Yes. If you book for 7 or more passengers, United States Coast Guard regulations require a Bareboat Charter and you pay the captain and fuel separately in addition to your prepaid charter fee. An additional $100 per hour is due upon arrival and paid directly to your captain (cash, Venmo, or Zelle). If you book 7+ but arrive with fewer, you still pay the additional $100 per hour.
Arrive at the marina at least 30 minutes before your charter (longer on weekends and holidays) and be at the boat 15 minutes prior. If you arrive late, your time on the lake is shortened.
No. Use the restroom at the marina near the parking lot before boarding. If needed, you can stop along the way.
